"The entire life of the baptized is lived in view of the end, when Jesus returns for his people." - Jordan Cooper
For Lutherans, these two words (revelations from God) are "law" and "gospel." As an avid reader of Karl Barth, I imagine these "two words" to be "yes" and "no" (2 Cor 1:17-19).
For neither Lutheran nor Reformed Theology can baptism remain a past event. It is a perpetual identity that makes demands upon the believe.
